Fourth of July Parade and Activities Set for Cartersville
Cartersville’s annual Fourth of July celebration, including a parade, concert and fireworks, is set for Wednesday, July 4. The events are presented by the Rotary Club of Etowah with WBHF FM 100.3 and AM 1450 coordinating the parade with the Rotary Club. The parade down Main Street in downtown Cartersville begins at 9 a.m. in the Tabernacle Baptist Church parking lot. The procession, which leaves Douglas Street, turns right onto Church Street, then continues to make a left on Bartow Street, left on Main Street, left on Tennessee Street and left on East Church Street. It ends back at the church.
This year’s Grand Marshall is 104 year-old Roy Bethune who served five years in the Army during World War II. Mr. Bethune was also a Plant Manager at the Atco Mill for Goodyear, until his retirement, and he still is active in his church and helping community organizations.
“We are still actively looking for parade participants”, stated WBHF station manager, Matt Santini, when asked about the parade. “Many communities have discontinued their parades. We are working hard to make ours better every year. The Fourth of July Parade is one of the community service projects that we have taken on here at WBHF, and a great deal of time and resources are devoted to it by the entire staff.” In addition to honoring Roy Bethune as or Grand Marshall, we will also be honoring our veterans along with Bartow County’s first responders. “As our community has grown, so has the workload of the police, fire, and EMS professionals who are saving and protecting lives every day. We felt like this parade was a great opportunity to recognize their professionalism and dedication.”
Proceeds from the parade benefit local children’s charities through the Rotary Club of Etowah.
